I'm working on US History on the free trial right now, it's really time consuming but super easy
They have 3 levels. It is called the College Accelerator plan and it is $199.99.
You have to have already signed up to be able to access it under the "membership options" tab on your dashboard

When I spoke with COSC, they said that they would accept credits (Accelerator) from study.com since they were ACE approved.
I haven't used the accelerator yet, although I am considering it for my pre calculus. I did use study.com for US History 1 CLEP and the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP (Probably didn't need it). I like the videos a lot and the chapter tests were very helpful.

I wonder if even though you can only take two for credit classes a month, you could access other courses as a test resource? That would be cool if you could, because you could quickly hammer out two courses for credit and then study for a few clep or dsst tests. Might make the cost more palatable.

Frankly I don't see a huge issue with the price if you do two courses a month its 100/course which is what you pay for cleps and dssts. I also think you would definitely be able to use the other study resources for the other courses, just based on what I've seen so far.

You can only take two proctored exams per month under the "Accelerator" plan -- but you have access to ALL of thier videos, practice tests and resources for other exams.
For example I will be doing 2 science exams this June through Study.com to get 6 credits but I will also be using their videos/practice tests for both American Literature CLEP and English Literature CLEP in the same month.

My only issue with the price is that not all the courses are ace approved, so you would still have to additionally pay about $100 for clep, dsst, or tecep test. Unless I am missing something.
Defscarlet and Tinhead, that is what I was thinking about doing too.

defscarlett, based on your quizzes for US history do you think this would be good prep for clep and dsst?
